From the makers of Jarlsberg® Cheese comes Ridder, the Norwegian word for "Knight." Ridder goes to battle with a creamy, rich, distinctive flavor and is often compared to French cheeses like Port Salut or St. Nectaire. Like those, it is semi-soft with little or no holes. But, unlike its French counterparts, Ridder has an edible washed rind. Considered by some to be the most elite Norwegian cheese, Ridder is an ideal table cheese and pairs well with a light, fruity wine.

I couldn't get over the particular taste of this cheese which was new for me. It seems i can't get enough of it its so good & I'll be waiting for it to get back into stock so i can order more.

The best. Keep a good supply.

Tasty!

I don't know a lot about many cheese varieties besides the basic ones, but I liked this one a lot. If swiss and provolone had a baby, that's kind of the flavor it reminded me of. But the texture was a lot creamier. Tangy and salty, but still mild in flavor. And I loved that the rind was edible.

great taste

I am still new to trying out various cheese types with wine so I ordered this to try with some lighter blush wines that I acquired. The cheese went quickly at the gathering I had and I was told I need to add it again. I will do so and add fruit with it as well. The flavor is mild and I liked the fact that the rind is edible and not at all hard.

A must!

My husband is Norwegian and the holidays means Norwegian cheeses. Ridder is one of the top three (after Nokkelost and before Jarlsburg). This is definitely a family favorite.

Ridder

As good as when I first had it some 15 years ago. If I owned a cheese shop, Ridder would be the first cheese I would stock, and I'm not Norwegian............
